+1 for us to publish sets of projects that work together for specific scenarios. I heard this idea first from Allison Randall and it immediately struck a chord. To be fair folks like Jay Pipes have always said (paraphrasing) "OpenStack is a toolbox". So it's the next step i guess. Lauren Sell was mentioning yesterday about hearing confusion around "Big Tent", i do feel that when we put forth a set of constellations we can start deprecating the "Big Tent" terminology if appropriate. > I am trying to kick start the "VM and baremetal" working group to get > feedback on a specific constellation as a group of projects.
